President Donald Trump officially kicked off his 2020 campaign at a rally in Orlando, Florida.

The one-day haul, announced on Twitter by RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, rivals the $30.3 million Trump’s campaign collected during the entire January-to-March fundraising quarter and underscores the President’s staggering financial advantage over the nearly two dozen Democrats scrambling to face him in next year’s general election.

Trump “raised a record breaking $24.8M in less than 24 hours for his reelection,” McDaniel wrote. “The enthusiasm across the country for this President is unmatched and unlike anything we’ve ever seen!”

McDaniel did not specify the exact day the campaign raised the money, but the single-day haul blows past the amounts raised by Democrats on the first day of their campaigns.

Trump, who filed for reelection the day he was sworn into office, has used the early start to build a massive war chest. At the end of March — as the Democratic field was still taking shape — he and his joint fundraising operations with the Republican National Committee already had collected more than $100 million.
